If you’ve been around for a bit, when it comes to PCSing, your entire life becomes a holding pattern. Here’s how to spot it and why every military family you know is just nodding in sympathy.
You’re crying in a Lowe’s and saying, “I’ll deal with it after the move,” like it’s a valid life plan.
This isn’t just a store trip gone sideways. It’s the perfect snapshot of PCS limbo. You didn’t even come for anything dramatic. Wall anchors, maybe. A lightbulb for the hallway fixture.
The post THE TELEGRAPH: Trump To Use U.S. Mercenaries To Support Ukrainian Defense appeared first on Armed Forces Press.
Secretary of Defense Hegseth is returning a portrait of the leader of the Confederate Army, General Robert E. Lee, to the West Point library in a bid to reverse the destruction of history under the treasonous Biden administration.
Despite the propaganda narrative that preserving American civil war memorabilia at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and other American military historical sites, is ‘racist’, anyone willing to understand the truth will know this narrative is completely false, and deceptive.
Footage released by the Russian Defence Ministry has confirmed the successful use of an Iskander-M ballistic missile system to destroy one of Ukraine’s small number of indigenous Neptune cruise missile launchers. This follows a consistent trend towards the use of the Iskander-M to neutralise high value missile systems in Ukrainian service, including multiple MIM-104 Patriot long range surface-to-air missile systems. The Ukrainain launcher was located in the disputed Zaporozhye region, and reportedly saw ten accompanying personnel killed when it was destroyed.

Recent events and facts emerging from West Point demonstrate to fellow graduates, the nation, the Secretary of Defense, and all observers that the current administration at West Point must be replaced—and we must start at the top.
Over the last three years, the Leaders of the esteemed academy stood their ground, reporting to Congressional Committees that West Point did not teach Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) to over 4000 future officers of the U.S. Army.

The Department of the Navy’s chief information officer left her post after nearly two years. Jane Overslaugh Rathbun, who served as the Department of the Navy’s top expert for cybersecurity, electromagnetic threats and privacy, suddenly announced her retirement last week. She is the latest senior Navy official to leave or be fired this month.
Rathbun shared the news in a LinkedIn post on Aug. 22, saying that it was hard to sum up more than three decades working in national security.
Military personnel will now be tested for magic mushrooms or “shrooms,” according to changes to the Pentagon’s drug policy.
An Aug. 18 memo from the Pentagon states that psilocin would be added to drug panels that the military uses to test service members for drug use. The key ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms is psilocybin, and when consumed, it’s converted in the body to psilocin, which produces a hallucinogenic effect or altered state.
Both psilocin and psilocybin are classified as Schedule I drugs by the U.S.
“Trump conservative” with a “drain the swamp” ethos
Retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Alex Pelbath served 22 years in uniform and was the last U.S. pilot to fly out of Kabul, as air mission commander during the grossly mishandled 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Pelbath proudly identifies himself as a “Trump conservative” and announced this week his candidacy for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, one day before the fourth anniversary of the Abbey Gate attack that claimed the lives of 13 Americans.
